POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A seeker of truth in an age of lies
Morning Thoughts
It was never me
A boy, an athlete, an avid reader
That's what they didn't see
Thinking love was what they would feel
They never heard the me within
The human behind the stolen smile
I was a pool of calm water to fill their holes
As I drained through the places they were broken
What they were blind to drained away too
Each time I poured all I was upon their pain
It became an expectation
I was an image
Sometimes to elevate them
Someone to analyze, to educate them
I was but human, a broken boy
As the parade of needs mistaken for love...

Rain
The cool rain permeates our skin
as lips find each other
tasting natures essence of life
Unclothed on earth's floor
hands slide eagerly over your curves
as the rain massages our senses
our hearts beating as one with the thunder
I am intoxicated
Drunk in your equal passion
Wanting to feel you close
to share ourselves with the passing storm
Every drop; liquid fuel
igniting our fervor
feeling alive, sensual
Our echoes cast upon the clouds
with every kiss of passion
devouring your graciousness ...

I Wonder
I imagine in firefly twilight
slip and slide of falling sun
leaving shadows in its wake
cutting through the in between
to float upon its surface; drift
Creak of wood floor under naked foot press
the sound of air sighing at the scent of skin
hands curl
feel
senses cling long after touch has left
Pulse rush
each heart has its music
listen to the depth and rhythm
fall into the sound
it wraps you up
and makes you float again
Search the vision
currents of the gaze
a flow over this landscape
pierce the prism...

Clarity
Gleaning a contented soul
From the mirrored radiance
Casting clarity of spirit from its expressions
On days the suns rays pique quiet moments of illumination
Clouds of gray may approach with aim
To taint or tamper
That very reflection
From time to time
Winds of change rearrange directions
Grasping reality as it is shuffled into confusion
Or merely in disarray
Cast off the lies
Receive the calmness that dusk or another dawn will bring
As moment to moment
Life moves...

Currents
Soul wide awake feeling your encompassing heat
Dreams echo moans beckoning softly to you
Yearning desire pressing hips into crisp sheets
Breath quickens with whispers of passion released
Silken moonbeams caress heated flesh
Teasing desire into wanton growls
Expanding the universe inspiring flames
Succumb to divine dexterity of your wind
Heated lust no longer denied within
Waking with yearning flesh my desire only grows
Intense currents shared within these pulses
Awakened need whiplashed hungered inferno
Climb the spindles of...

craving ~ yearning ~ responsive ~ salacious ~ shuddering ~ breathless ~ gasping ~ tender ~ unending kisses desired ~ strong gentle fingers to explore ~ whispers vibrating against naked neck ~ honey covered ~ ravaged ~ unfettered exploration ~ glistening lips of treasure ~ more ever more ~

shudders and trembles say enough

Whispered Secrets ~ for my effervescent friends Strider and Magdalena
the sun whispers secrets to
the clouds
carries them
travels
oceans
lands
pasture
guarding
always guarding
lightning struck
heat raged
no secret was lost
in need
in search
to release
secret mist
to the valley
in this rainfall love is replenished
hearts enjoined with each drop melding the two
words spoken
treasured and guarded with privilege
the clouds
carries them
travels
oceans
lands
pasture

lightning struck
heat raged
no secret was lost
in need

to release
secret mist
to the valley
in this rainfall love is replenished
hearts enjoined with each drop melding the two
words spoken

Hollow Eyes
Left for "business" in Bangkok
Hub of the eastern world
Join all the tourists
Party with the little girls
Dancing as they sleepwalk
Empty eyes hidden by disco lights
Pranced on the auction block
Hating all the hungry smiles
Mindless of the wooden shacks
Row after endless row
In the shadow of the factories
As open sewerage flows
Ignoring the children's faces
Hope burning in their eyes
Too young to realize
The life of misery drawing nigh
Endless miles of corporations
Built on human blood
As nameless,...

Midnight Moon ~
midnight moon
weaves her charm
mists with the fog of passion
unmarred reflection
angels with naughty wings
pleasures perfect fashion
rainbow showers
smoke ring clouds
stars as holes in the sky
hearts on fire
never quenched
i grin, i giggle, i sigh
weaves her charm
mists with the fog of passion
unmarred reflection
angels with naughty wings
pleasures perfect fashion
rainbow showers
smoke ring clouds
stars as holes in the sky
hearts on fire
never quenched
i grin, i giggle, i sigh

ANTICIPATION
b]Anticipation
Forced
holding your arms to the wall
You know
anticipation carries our desire
We've played this game before
many times
slaves to sensuality
Close your eyes
eyes wild with fever
neurotic with want
tasting your neck inches from me
you taste of passion and love
distinctive taste of you
an extraordinary dance of senses
sighs behind the eyes
my grrrrowls louder
patience unwavering
Feel my heated breath on you
proximity forcing you over the edge
releasing your hands
from above your head
breathless...
